How can I find out the number of pages in my Docusarus site?

We have a rather big site. At least I think that it is big. We use documentation versioning for some parts of it.

How can I find out how many pages do I have in the current version, and how many do I have in versioned docs?

Solution

After some days, I thought about an idea: parse the sitemap.xml !

Step-by-step

1. Build your docusaurus website with:

npm run build

2. Inside the generated folder build will be the sitemap.xml. It will be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1">
    <url>
        <loc>https://your.website.com/docs/Intro</loc>
        <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
        <priority>0.5</priority>
    </url>
[…]

If you count how many <url> tags are inside the file, you will have the amount of pages.

And, obviously, you can search for other keywords for your versioned docs.
